Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

The room fell silent for a moment.

Tian Guofu paused for a moment as he picked up his teacup, glancing out of the corner of his eye in Gao Yuliang's direction.

Tian Guofu's anger surged again. Who was Xiao Gangyu?

That was Gao Yuliang's man; he had been very close to Qi Tongwei when he was at the Jingzhou Procuratorate.

Is Song Yunhui bringing up Xiao Gangyu at this time to make a deal with Gao Yuliang?

Or is it compromising with the political and legal system?

Chen Hai was appointed as the deputy chief prosecutor, and Xiao Gangyu as the executive deputy chief prosecutor. The word "executive" carries a different weight, clearly indicating that Chen Hai was to be sidelined.

Gao Yuliang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then put it down. "I agree."

Gao Yuliang was quite pleased with Song Yunhui's move.

Song Yunhui is indeed a politically astute person. He knows that since he gave him face in the Chen Hai matter, he has to find a balance in the Xiao Gangyu matter.

Xiao Gangyu has some minor flaws, but he is obedient and easy to use.

By handing over the position of executive deputy chief prosecutor to him, I can maintain control over the procuratorate.

Song Yunhui remained calm.

He brought up Xiao Gangyu not to curry favor with Gao Yuliang, but to maintain a balance in Handong.

Chen Hai is too young and full of impulsiveness. If it weren't for an experienced veteran like Xiao Gangyu keeping him in check, the procuratorate would have been ruined by Chen Hai sooner or later.

To move work forward, a good balance must be struck.

Sha Ruijin said against his will, "Comrade Yunhui is right. I have learned about Comrade Xiao Gangyu."

They are veterans in the procuratorial system, with rich work experience. The position of Executive Deputy Procurator-General needs to be filled by someone who is familiar with procuratorial work and can handle the workload in daily operations.

Comrade Xiao Gangyu meets this standard.

Sha Ruijin paused, not directly stating whether he agreed or disagreed, but instead looked at Wu Chunlin, "Minister Chunlin, what is your organization department's opinion on this nomination?"

Wu Chunlin tapped his fingers lightly twice on the table. "Comrade Xiao Gangyu has worked in the procuratorial system for many years. He was the deputy chief procurator of the Handong Provincial People's Procuratorate and the chief procurator of the Jingzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate. His resume is solid, and no bad records have been found."

"Okay." Sha Ruijin nodded. "Then this candidate will also be discussed at the Standing Committee meeting."

Tian Guofu sighed as he watched these three people decide on the candidate for executive deputy chief prosecutor in just a few words.

The drama unfolding in the provincial party committee compound was more lively than a Peking opera, while he, the secretary of the discipline inspection commission, had become the fool clapping in the audience.

However, since the situation has already been decided, there is no need for him to jump out and play the villain at this time.

Sha Ruijin turned to the next page, "Next are the disciplinary inspection system and the agricultural system, and the disciplinary inspection side, the proposed promotions..."

After he finished speaking, several people expressed their opinions one after another, and there were basically no major disagreements.

Tian Guofu occasionally raised one or two specific questions about the candidates in one or two places, but he did not strongly object. In the end, he just said things like, "I suggest you verify the authenticity of a certain material again, so as not to affect the overall situation."

Gao Yuliang sat there, occasionally chiming in with a comment, but only touching on the subject briefly, never going into detail.

Song Yunhui maintained a steady pace throughout, speaking when he should and remaining silent when he shouldn't.

If Sha Ruijin felt that Xiao Jinzi was running out of things to say, he might mutter, "Let's discuss this batch of personnel arrangements at tonight's Standing Committee meeting."

Wu Chunlin nodded, "Indeed, Secretary Sha and Governor Song, the approach of discussing each group as it matures is good. This way, the situation of each cadre can be fully discussed, and it avoids having to introduce a large batch at once, leaving everyone unable to even remember their names."

I sincerely thank Song Yunhui for his suggestion.

Sha Ruijin stood up. "Alright, that's settled then. Meeting adjourned!"

Several people stood up one after another.

After the meeting, Tian Guofu didn't rush to leave. He stood at the end of the corridor, watching Sha Ruijin's figure disappear around the corner, before taking a step to catch up.

"Secretary Sha, please wait a moment."

Sha Ruijin stopped and turned around. "Comrade Guofu, is there anything else?"

Tian Guofu strode forward and lowered his voice, "There are some things I'd like to discuss with you privately. It doesn't need to be long, ten minutes will be enough."

Sha Ruijin glanced at his watch. "Comrade Guofu, it's really unfortunate. I have to take a conference call later, from higher up. Let's arrange a time another day so we can talk properly."

Having said all that, Tian Guofu knew he couldn't press the matter any further.

He nodded. "Okay, then another day."

Sha Ruijin patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Tian Guofu stood there, watching that figure from behind, feeling a surge of suppressed anger.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, exhaled the smoke, and stared blankly at the gray sky outside the window for a while.

He needs an impressive report card.

At the five-person group meeting, I sat there like a clay idol, my two suggestions were easily dismissed. If this continues, what's the point of sitting in the position of secretary of the discipline inspection commission?

How did he take over Xiao Jinzi's position as the then Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee?

Seeing Tian Guofu emerge, the driver quickly opened the car door. "Secretary Tian, ​​where are we going?"

After thinking for a while, Tian Guofu said, "Let's go to the Sunset Red Nursing Home where Old Chen lives."

Song Yunhui stood by the window, watching Tian Guofu's car leave the provincial party committee compound.

What did that old man, Xiaotianzi, go do?

I can't figure it out.

I'll just ignore it.

Tian Guofu drove through the city for more than half an hour before turning onto a quiet tree-lined road and parking in front of the nursing home.

Tian Guofu got out of the car, straightened his collar, and went inside carrying a box of tea.

Chen Yanshi was holding a newspaper in his hand.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up, smiled, and put down his newspaper. "Secretary Guofu, what a rare guest!"

Tian Guofu strode forward, placed the tea leaves on the table, and said, "Old Chen, you can just call me Xiao Tian."

Chen Yanshi waved his hand, "That won't do. You're now a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

"In your presence, I will always be a junior." Tian Guofu sat down opposite Chen Yanshi. "Old Chen, you seem to be living a very leisurely life here."

The nursing home has flowers and birds; the environment is truly wonderful.

Tian Guofu wants to move into a nursing home with his own private courtyard after retirement.

Chen Yanshi laughed, "How could I not be idle? I'm retired now, I don't have to worry about that anymore."

"Tell me, you're such a busy person, you didn't come all this way just to have tea with me."

After carefully considering his words, Tian Guofu said, "Old Chen, the Provincial Party Committee held a five-person group meeting today, and the matter of promoting Comrade Chen Hai to the position of Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Provincial Procuratorate has been basically decided. There shouldn't be any problem with it being approved by the Standing Committee."

Chen Yanshi's smile widened. "The organization trusts Hai Zi, so Hai Zi will definitely do a good job!"

Tian Guofu nodded. "Comrade Chen Hai is young and promising, and he has a long road ahead of him. Old Chen, you have raised a good son."

Chen Yanshi smiled but didn't reply. He picked up the teapot and poured Tian Guofu a cup of tea. "Guofu, you didn't come here today just to tell me this news, did you?"

Having his thoughts exposed, Tian Guofu decided to get straight to the point, "Mr. Chen, to be honest..."

During my time in the Discipline Inspection Commission, I investigated some cases, but most of them were minor, low-level cases that couldn't be brought to the forefront.

You know better than I how deep the waters of Handong are.

I want to get things done, but I need a breakthrough.

Chen Yanshi picked up his teacup, took a slow sip, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Tian Guofu stared into Chen Yanshi's eyes. "Old Chen, do you have any leads? Preferably from the department level or above."

I really want to investigate a few people through Chen Yanshi's Second Procuratorate.

Xiao Tianzi was too eager to make a name for himself.
